OUR STANDARD BEARERS.

The Republicans of Sedgwick county
have nominated man for sheriff who Is
known, perhaps, by more Of our people
tn an any other citizen In the county.
WILLIAM W. HAYS
is 8 native of Illinois, and came to Sedg-
wick county in the spring of 1871 and set
tied on the Cowskin. He built the second
Touring mill ever erected In the new south
west. The new settlers for great many
miles around brought their wheat and corn
to Hays mill. In consequence of this
nearly ell the old settlers In this and ad-
Joining counties are acquainted with and
are warm friends Of "Blll Hays" Mr.
Hays Is in the prime Of life, being forty
seven years Of age He was two years ago
elected to the office of sheriff, and since
that time has made for himself q record OF
which he may well be proud. He
Is conceded 70 be the best sheriff
that Sedgwick county has ever had. He
was the unanimous choice Of the Republi-
can convention and Is admitted to be
stronger than any party. Generous, cour-
ageous and concientlous, there are few If
any, men living better qualified for the
Office which he now holds than W. w.
Hays. There are frequently exposed to
the public, the actions of prison keepers
which on account Of their cruelty has
shocked mankind, but VIM. W. Hays after
having served nearly two years as sheriff
and jailor now stands before his fellow
citizens charged by bis enemies with one
offense. that of being too generous to the
men committed to his care He has err
ed on the side of humanity. To those
who are offended at Sheriff Hays on this
account we have only this reply: eve
love him for the enemies he has made. ="
During .his:twenty one months ser
vice as sheriff, w. w. Hays
has locked up in the old shell called the
Sedgwick county jail 57S prisoners. Of
this number fifty nine were delivered IN
the penitentiaIy and twenty two to the in
sane asylum. In addition to these Sheriff
Hays has captured thirty offenders from
other states and has handed them over to |
the proper authorities Last Saturday |
there were forty eight prisoners In he jail |
that we presume is intended to accommo-
late about fifteen persons. Of the gIeat |
number of prisoners sent to the jail since
Sheriff Hays term only three have escaped.
They were committed for petty larceny,
md unObserved by Mr. Hays or his depu
les kicked the floor out Of the hall and |
made their escape.
II less humane man than Bill Hays"
lad been In control of the Sedgwick county
all during the last year many Of the pris
'ners must have died owing to their over
rowded condition. In this place of ap-
parent danger and death Sheriff Hays has
lever deserted his post of duty. lie has
aced death from disease and on two occa-
ions he has faced an hundred shotguns In
he hands of bowling mob. Determined
o do his duty or die, W. W. Hays has
TODD firm where men Of less courage than
he most courageous would have deserted.
)f such man there Is no use to talk to
be people of Sedgwick county. They
now him and will say at the polls In No
ember "Well done good and faithful
arvant.

ANOTHER WICHITA ROAD.
Forty-Five Miles of Steel Rails II
Week

Week
Forty five miles Of steel rails will be re-
ceived this week over the Frisco for the
Kansas Midland railway, which will be a
greater amount of steel rail than was ever
rolled Into Kansas Ia single week. Mr..
Bracey, who laid the D., NJ. i A. Pueblo
extension, is on the ground with MS ma-
chinery and as strong force Of men as
can be worked, and he thinks that he will
be able TO lay from three to four miles per
day until the road reaches 8 Uuion Pacific
connection at Ellsworth. Track Is going
down lively and the road last night was
beyond Valley Center. By next Saturday
night 1t will be near Burton. General
Msnsger Dacey returned from the east
Saturday night and will remain upon the
ground from this time on.
President Winslow has returned from
Europe, where he was successful In max
ing arrangements for the construction Of
something ike two thousand miles Of ex-
tensions and brauche. to the Frisco system
As will be remembered that road sent from
this point In the early summer three or
four engineer corps, who surveyed al Of
the territory southwest of this city and
several routes westward through the Indian
Territory 10 Albuquerque, New Mexico.
From what we know We are satisfied that
The Frisco is to become In The near future
che of the great trunk lines Of tie trans
Mississippi, In which system Wichita vii
cut an important figure.

In Indiana principally on account Of his
health, is much improved and will arrive
home this week In time to give his old

VIM. NJ. EVarts, of New York says the
Democrats did not elect Dir. Cleveland; 1t
was the Republicans who did 1t. I, must
be admitted, we suppose, as true, but the

any extent, and those misguided persons
who contributed Of their influence and
votes TO that end are sick enough Of 1t If
they only had the manhood to acknowl-
edge 1t.

WESTERN BOOM THAT Is NOT

The following brief letter Is taken from
the Greensburg, Ind, Conrier and was
written to the editor OF that paper by the
party whose initials are signed to it. We

Wichita makes upon those who visit the
city, In contrast with the vapoIings Of
those who seem to find delight In repeating
some slauderous and damaging statement
from hearssy or diseased imagination

evidently written with the city as he saw 1t
before his eyes:

mortgages being foreclosed, Is amply not
true. have made personal inquiry at the

THIRD ANNUAL CONVENTION
OF the National Boss Painters' Union, at
New ork CITY,

New York, July 12.-The third annual
convention of the National Boss Painters
Union opened here this morning in the
large hall of the Masonic Temple. There
were 363 delegates present, representing
almost every State in the Union. A num-
ber of ladies were interested spectators of
the pTocee edings. President John Berger
occupied the chair and John Beattie, of the
New York Association, delivered the ad-
dress CT welcome. The convention will be
in session three days. Its purpose, as Mr..
Beattie expressed it in his speech, is not
to crush the workingmen, but to talk over
matters affecting the trade and renew old
acquaintance.
J. B. Sullivan, of Chicago, chairman of
the committee appointed by the Master
house painters year ago to report on q
national apprenticeship system, sent re-
port to the convention to-day, advising the
enactment of general apprenticeship law
and representing the establishment OF
manual training schools under the direc-
tion of a national committee.
w. M. Downie, OF Cleveland, o., opposed
that system, saying that the best appren-
ticesbIp was in the shop. He favored an
intelligent indenture system.
John G. Mccarthy, OF Chicago, spoke in
favor of a general understanding with the
tlces.
Mr.. Reed, of New York, believed in
manual training in the public schools, and
John Beattie offered a resolution approx
ing such training and referring the matter
to the several boards of education.
The resolution was unanimously adopt

Procss dings of the Third Annual Con-
veniion of the National Boss Paint
ers' Union Other Labor News.

New YoRK, July 12.-The Brooklyn
elevated road this morning is running only
four trains, the engines of which are
manned by men who formerly switched
the trains on the East New York end.
The strikers state that they have demanded
that the days work be reduced from nine
hours and fifty minutes to nine hours. and
the pay of the fremen be increased from
S1.75 to 81 per dav.
A member of District 70 says that the
employees of car lines in that assembly
were notified to be in readiness to "tie up''
ct any moment. They offered the year s
agreement made with the company as an
objection and il was taken as a valid one,
but this morning the companies broke the
sgreement by posting new time tables on
which the number of ''trippers" is greatly
increased and the men consider themselves
no longer bound by it and a general "tie
up' may be ordered.
The strikers held an enthusiastic meeting
this morning at Knights of Pythias hall on
Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn. They deter
mined 10 stay out and make no further
oyertures to the company.
Chairman Wright, of the Locomotive
Engineers committee, sent the following
telegram in the course of the morning:
ITO Harry Hayes, First Grand Assistant
Engineer, Cleveland, o.
GUklucCAS oil OQls oil OQb
But two hostlers and two swltchmen run
ming. Success certain"
A committee of five was appointed to
wait on Mayor Whitney, of Brooklyn,
Boiler Inspector Powers and the police
commissioners and notify them of the in
competent men employed asking that
some steps be taken to remedy the evil.
The committee reported when they re-
turned that these gentlemen had nc
authority to interfere.
During the day the company made
strenuous efforts to secure men to take the
strikers places. at noon seven engine:
were running, but the persussions of the
strikers had reduced this number to three
at 8 o'clock. officers of the company
learned that strikers were riding on the
engines and trying 10 induce the new en-
gineers to strike. They accordingly re
quested the police to interfere. At each
station a policeman was on duty, but
there were no outbreaks.
The Jol let committees of the Brother
hood of Locomotive. Firemen and Engineer
adopted card to the public" in which
they warn the public against the incompe
tency of the scab engineers and also dis
